Hi Andrea, IIUIC the problem occurs during import VM from external domain. I can see two options to save data on disks: * Export storage domain can be detached and removed from engine. Install new separate engine and try to import VMs into new engine. * Alternative is to use virt-viewer to create a vm and directly attach images form export domain to the vm. The images have standard qcow2 format.
